U2 vs Coldplay: Who Did It Better? + Pimple Remedies Then & Now | Nostalgia Podcast

Welcome Middies!

This week starts with two important questions: Why is Fonz staying up until 1am playing slime games, and how has Mez managed to injure herself after just five minutes of whipper snippering?

In our "Then & Now" segment, we're taking a nostalgic look at pimple treatments through the decades. From the thick orange Clearasil paste many of us wore proudly in the 80s and 90s, to the pimple patches and skincare routines today's teens swear by, we're comparing how acne remedies have evolved over the years.

Then it's time for another "Who Did It Better?" battle, and this one is huge: U2 vs Coldplay.

Both bands have delivered iconic songs, unforgettable albums and soundtracks to different stages of our lives. But which band wins when nostalgia, influence, longevity and personal memories are all taken into account?
